Made some progress over the weekend.
Oil pan cut open. The LS3 has a reasonable baffle system.
Modified pickup. I was a bit hesitant at first because of leaks and corrosion. I have tigged it up and will pressure test it. As it is submerged in
oil corrosion wont be an issue.
Easy to set the clearance with the bottom off.
Cleaned up ready for welding
I reckon i have lost about 800mm of
oil capacity. Im not too concerned as the ls3 in the corvette has less capacity than this sump. I should be able to over fill a bit also.
